"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)
    We believe that it is good and proper for God's people to pray for the 'Troops' in a collective manner.
    We also believe that it is good and proper to pray for those individual service men and women who  have been deployed to foreign lands.
    Therefore Pastor Wm. Doyal Thomas and the Philadelphia Baptist Church of Decatur, Alabama would like to invite and encourage God's people to lift up the following service men and women before the Lord's throne, seeking His watch care and mercy upon them.
    If you have a service man or woman and would like their name added to this prayer list please e-mail us with the pertinent information and we will gladly and prayerfully add that name.
    "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" (Luke 18:1)
    "Ye also helping together by prayer for us, ..." (II Corinthians 1:11)
